Copying tags from when @starkid updated them all the other day.

@Chembecky congratulations!! Amazing news and a great line! Xx

Jessikka · 27/04/2019 15:34

Congratulations @Chembecky 💐

LikeTheFruit · 27/04/2019 15:37

Congratulations @Chembecky !!

LikeTheFruit · 27/04/2019 15:38

I'm having a frustrating end of cycle hear. Now Cd 33. Having pinky coloured cm since Thursday night with cramps, boobs no longer sore. Just want AF to come and go so I can get going with cycle 5. Took an IV this afternoon out of sheer desperation and BFN so come on AF where are you!!

Lottiepink · 27/04/2019 16:12

@Bec18x sorry to hear that.. is that how you got tests early, with knowing you weren't ovulating? Sorry to keep asking questions and I hope you don't mind. It's just we have been trying for a long time now with no luck. Going to ring the docs next week. Good idea withholding the clomid until DH sperm have a chance to improve. Is it all diet related?

Fivebyfive2 · 27/04/2019 16:35

Hi all! Really looking forward to seeing Avengers tonight and hearing about my bro's holiday over tea first! I soooo need a nice evening, today has been... Trying!! Me and my mum took my nan (mums mum) out for the day. She's 90, in a wheelchair, has anxiety, ocd and a form of dementia. I love her to bits, but she is extremely difficult to manage bless her!!

OP posts:
Jessikka · 27/04/2019 16:36

@LikeTheFruit I'm with you. I'm also not patiently waiting for AF.
Tiny bit of spotting yesterday and now today pinky Cm. I'm cd 25 and usually come on around cd26-27 So I know she's coming 🙄

I just want to get into cycle 5 already, same as you!

Bec18x · 27/04/2019 16:46

@lottiepink no problem and I’m on cycle 6 but it’s been a year trying but due to irregular cycles and not ovulating I got referred. And yes it’s with diet with pcos I just need to reduce carbs. DH needs to cut down alcohol and we both need to just exercise more and lose weight

Hannah192 · 27/04/2019 17:19

@Chembecky @MrsEG @Fivebyfive2 @LokiCat @dahlia123 thank you all xx

AF arrived this afternoon too so I’m starting cycle 5 today 💪🏼 Trying to be positive and think it’ll happen when it’s suppose to.

DH is thinking about taking some vitamins also to try and help. Would anyone recommend anything particular for men?
I’m currently using seven seas folic acid and vitamin d.
We are considering just dtd every other day this next cycle and not doing OPKs as I’ve had the same positive day the past 3 cycles anyway so we have a rough idea and my periods seem to start on exactly cd29 in the afternoon. So also not going to test until I’m actually late next time.

@Fivebyfive2 hope you have an amazing time at Avengers! I saw it Thursday and have already booked to go again tomorrow! Will probably end up going a third time too 🙈

@Pinksunset1 hopefully this next cycle is for you. Looks like we are on very similar cycles so we can keep each other company 🙂

starkid · 27/04/2019 17:27

@Chembecky - congrats, that's a cracking line!!
@Bec18x - sorry you're having a hard time darling :( xxx

Sorry to everyone with BFN's with morning, but not out til she arrives... Smile

Tropicana1 · 27/04/2019 17:29

@Fivebyfive2 ah bless that does sound like an intense mix of problems to manage when out and about!

@Hannah192 DH has recently started taking the well man vitamins mainly because I'm taking the pregnacare and you can get them in a joint box. He's shit though, I've bought like 3 more boxes of just my pregnacare because he's not even got through his first box 🙄 he has started taking them consistently this past week or so, better late than never I guess!

McHelenz · 27/04/2019 17:42

TWW got me. Just spent silly money on wool for projects for non-existent baby. I cant do this every TWW.

Jumpers for all...haha.

Dollywilde · 27/04/2019 20:10

@hannah192 period arrived this pm for me too, snap!

Pretty shitty afternoon, after the BFN this morning we went to lunch with some friends and one of them announced that she’s 12 weeks. Then half way through the lunch I felt AF arrive Sad blah. Keep telling myself it’s only month one but had a little cry when we got home, although pretty sure most of that hormones...

Jessikka · 27/04/2019 20:22

Aw @Dollywilde that sucks! Don't beat yourself up for welling up, it can be hard to see it happen for others - no matter how happy you are for them.

In my office in the last 5 months FOUR women and a colleagues wife have announced pregnancies.

I have to chip in for baby stuff for them which makes me a little frustrated and impatient. But it will happen for us all I'm sure☺️

Dollywilde · 27/04/2019 20:29

@jessikka thanks and yes, I’m absolutely delighted for her! Resisted the urge to ask how long they were trying in case it was salt in the wound. It’s funny, I always got the concept of sadness around others announcing when you’re trying but it’s a weird emotion to feel!

Keyboard91 · 28/04/2019 07:47

@Dollywilde sorry that you had that experience, I think I would’ve cried too. My friend had a baby this week, her 3rd, and she never has to try for long. So I was obviously happy for her etc but it was difficult for me.

If I cry anymore I think I need a life raft or something. Yesterday I went into town with DP and they had cherry tango in Wilkinson’s which I needed to have. Drank some. When we got back to car I put it on the back seat and drive us to Dunelm. Parked up and turned to grab tango WHICH WASNT THERE. Cue tears. Lots of tears. Bloody hormones. Roll on Tuesday so I can POAS.... do you think DP will let me tomorrow!?! No keyboard. You do not want to. It’s 2 days before expected AF so too early.

rocks back and forth

LindyMoe · 28/04/2019 08:35

@Jessikka @Dollywilde @Keyboard91 hugs all around, this is emotional stuff.
To everyone waiting for AF so we can jump into the next cycle I'm with ya. I'm 8 days late now so if anyone has a solution on how to speed this up I'm all ears.

Also how good was Avengers!! Didn't feel like 3 hours at all 😁

EssJayyCee · 28/04/2019 09:23

I finally ovulated on CD46!
Now 3dpo and in the two week wait!
We DTD 3 days before O the day before O and the day after..
What are the chances do you think??

MrsEG · 28/04/2019 10:04

@Bec18x Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time, wishing you and DH the best of luck with the diet and exercise regime!

@LikeTheFruit @Jessikka @LindyMoe My AF was really late last month, BFNs at 14DPO so knew I was out but torture waiting for her to show her face! FX she shows soon so you can get cracking with your next cycle.

@Fivebyfive2 Ah that does sound really challenging, my grandad had dementia before he died and eventually didn’t know any of us. It really takes its toll!

@Hannah192 My DH takes a standard multivitamin and I take the Pregnacare conception ones. I make him a coffee with his vitamin every morning so I know he’s taking it!

@Dollywilde Oh that sounds awful, and for AF to arrive at the same time, talk about rubbing salt in the wound! Just think, before long it’ll be you at that table sharing your good news too :)

@EssJayyCee Great news!! Will keep everything crossed that you caught that egg!

We went to see Avengers again last night and I cried so much more! I’m ovulating so perhaps the hormones made me worse but my god I was a mess. DH had to drive my car home..... I so agree with everyone who has said it doesn’t feel like 3 hours at all!

Hope everyone has had a great weekend. All we’ve done is clear out at home but I feel so much better for it, 6 bags for charity and countless bags to the dump! Off today to the ice cream farm - bring on a triple scoop of Nutella hazelnut!

Fivebyfive2 · 28/04/2019 10:05

@keyboard91, stay strong and hide those tests for another few days!!

@Dollywilde, ouch, that's rough. What a time for af to show. Hope you're feeling better today. Xx

Really enjoyed Avengers, will almost certainly see it again in the week!!

Fertility Friend ap says af is due around Fri if I'm still at 28 day cycles, but mine vary from 28-31 sometimes. We're actually away Thursday to Saturday for a little break, so sods law says she'll arrive right when we're away!! Hopefully not though. I am planning to test this time next week if af hasn't appeared. 🤞

Fivebyfive2 · 28/04/2019 10:34

@MrsEG, missed your post as I was typing! Ice cream farm sounds like heaven!! Big thumbs up on the clear out, it does feel great when you get all organised doesn't it?! Hope your weekend of fw sex has gone well 😀

OP posts:
MrsEG · 28/04/2019 10:40

@Fivebyfive2 Ha, excellent so far!! Especially last night, I think 3 hours of the Black Widow in her leather pants may have turned him on!! Enjoy your mini-break, at least it will completely take your mind off testing too! FX for next weekend for you :)

Keyboard91 · 28/04/2019 10:53

@LindyMoe thank you. FX your AF comes soon so you can start the next cycle.

@MrsEG there is nothing more satisfying with a proper clean out!!! ❤️ ... especially when followed by ice cream!

@Fivebyfive2 it’s okay, I made my DP hide them when I got my AF last month and I told him he could leave one in the bathroom Monday night so I can do it when I get up for my usual 4am pee Tuesday (1 day before AF). He’s under strict instructions to not give me one before even if I beg him or offer him a sexual bribe 😂

In fairness, he’s pretty good most of the time. I had an awful nights sleep last night so this morning I’m even more exhausted and grumpy on top of the hormonal crying rage thing I’ve got going on. We have just done the weekly shop (I saw Tango ice lollies and cried - wtf) and when we got back he made me sit down on the sofa whilst he puts away all the food and cleans the kitchen and sorts out the dishes etc.

Jessikka · 28/04/2019 11:22

Morning all! Just had a giant cooked breakfast and now chilling with a coffee.

How are you all?

AF finally arrived today! weirdly happy about it (obviously I wish she hadn't but I'm making the most of it) as it's on cd26 for the second time in a row - so maybe I'm regulating now ☺️☺️ (they went cd27-25-23-26-26)

@Fivebyfive2 are you keeping stats?
I'm cycle 5 now if you are - thank you x

Have a nice day everyone!

LindyMoe · 28/04/2019 11:33

Question ladies,

As my AF is 8 days late, when it arrives does it change my cycle and therefore ovulation date?
